Keith reports on Faux's Glenn Beck's hypocrisy re how bad he says American health care is & Faux's problem with their advertisers for spreading racial hatred on his network and his remarks calling the President a racist who hates white people.

1. Wow. I can't even...wow

Words fail... wow.

[Blue For You]

2. Beck is such an easily debunkable lightweight.

Great clip. Thanks for posting!

[barack the house]

3. Unknown "It has always taken an African American to save america from itself." God bless my brothers

and sisters.

4. Caught this when it aired, and it should be required viewing for RWers, but the MSM won't cover the

lies and hypocrisy of the Republicants.

5. Beck makes $18/million a year so is hardly "some poor working stiff" as he pretends.

6. "Here Come De BUS" dis boy gonna get the bus job real soon...his damage is that great

8. Keith admitted ripping this from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

You can watch both The Daily Show and Countdown online.

It is 100% legal and the hits help keep these shows going (paid by short ads).

Countdown: http://countdown.msnbc.com

The Rachel Maddow Show: http://maddow.msnbc.com

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart: www.thedailyshow.com

The Colbert Report: www.colbertnation.com

11. I think it's great that Keith used this and credited Jon

You know, that "...as assembled by the Daily Show," and then the clip with "Daily Show / Comedy Central" beneath it, nothing snarky about it being a comedy show just acknowledging the source, just the same as he would do if it was coming from CNN or CBS ... that's gotta be a stick in the eye to someone in those "news" organizations.

9. I don't mind companies sponsoring Beck

as long as they are willing to go on record as supporting his causes. "Yes, we agree Obama's a racist, and we support denying healthcare benefits to most of the people in this country."

17. this is what i got back from sc johnson when i wrote them a polite but good explanation of why

i would boycott them:

Hannah,

Thank you for sharing your concerns as there is some potentially misleading information on the web about this topic.

SC Johnson has not pulled or cancelled advertising for the Glenn Beck show, as we never directed our advertising to this particular program. In general, our goal is to provide good, informative ads and we select those programs and/or networks that make the most sense given our consumer base.

Regards,

18. Had you seen their ads on Beck's show?

I don't have the stomach to watch it long enough to get an idea who's advertising on it.

[create.peace]

19. i don't either, except sometime driving and channel surfing

and then it is like picking a scab

the advertisers and links are on here. i have gotten messages from clorox and sc johnson.

12. Beck underwent surgery for hemorrhoids. I still contend the surgery was performed on the wrong end.

[jimlup]

13. Yeah, but you have to admit that its pretty hard to tell with this guy

which end is the ass end since they both spew nothing but shit.

[libodem]

14. Beauteous

Makes me think the Repukes just take the other side of what ever the Dems' might say so that nothing is ever done in a cooperative manner. Does everything have to be a competition or a debate. This reminds me of working in an Adolescent Treatment Center, where every other kid had an actual diagnosis of 'Oppositional/Defiant Personality Disorder'. Do all the Repukes have Oppositional/Defiant Disorder along with the Narcissism and Borderline problems? Plus they are just fucking stoopid.

15. I love Glen Beck for many reasons...

the most important is that I can see through him. If the right wing freepers really identify with this mentally ill man as representing what they see as their interests... is that the best they've got? Can they really do no better?

I feel genuinely sorry for him as a human being. He needs help. Inside Glen Beck is a good hearted liberal struggling to get out. He should be championing socialism in the USA. If he'd been born in the DDR he'd have been a highly efficient party apparatchik, making people's lives better. Fox are exploiting him and his illness. If he lived in the UK he would be getting high quality psychiatric help for free. Instead he's forced to parade his problems on TV. Shameful.
